Hello fellow gamers,

I recently upgraded my GPU to a 7800xt nitro+, but in high FPS situations, like overwatch 2, the card stutters sometimes. Like going from the desired 160fps down to like 80 for a second. In general, the FPS are not stable. Before a match it hovers in the 100s regions. That can’t be right?

I tried setting everything very uncompetitively on ultra or max just for giggles and because I thought I could. 3440x1440p. Is this the dreaded “AMD driver issue”?

CPU: 5600X PSU:750W SSD: 980pro nvme

    RAM speed doesn’t matter for this, even if they had the shittiest RAM known to man the overall fps would just be lower, but there would be no random stutters.

        RAM speed does affect 1% lows, but they’ll just be lower overall. It won’t lead to actual stutter. Look at RAM speed benchmarks: Sure, between shit RAM and good RAM you might have 5-30 fps difference in 1% lows, but OP is dropping 80 fps randomly and has high performance otherwise. With bad RAM you would have worse 1% lows constantly.
